Habanero Tacos

Habanero Tacos

Tacos are a Poole family staple. I have finally, ten years later, figured out how to make the beef. Soooo good. Warm, but not too hot to eat. So much flavor and not too dry. The marinating seems to be the key.

1. Marinate beef
1 lb beef
10 leaves basil - chopped
2 tbsp italian parsley - chopped
4 lg leaves fresh sage - my sage leaves were 1"wide, by 2" long - chopped
3 cloves garlic - chopped
1/4 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp chilli powder
pinch paprika
1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
5 tomatoes from a can of whole tomatoes
6 green onion ends - the green parts - chopped
1/2 cup salsa - I recommend fresh from the grocery store, not jarred.

Smash tomatoes to release all liquid and mix all together. Marinate for 2 hours.

2 Chop veges.
white onion
white part of green onion
yellow squash
carrot
tomato
spinach
sour cream
avocado
sharp cheddar cheese

Chop all fine and set out in separate bowls.

3. Tortillas
Add 1 tbsp olive oil in pan. Allow to get hot, add one tortilla at a time to lightly brown, each side. Keep warm on plate in oven until all are ready to serve.

4. Serve.
Allow everyone to choose what ingredients go on their own taco.
I serve mine with tortilla chips.
